Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer believes authorities may be close to finding Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapper because law enforcement has been refusing assistance from civilian search experts. “Is LE close to an arrest and they know what happened to Nancy so they don’t want to waste the valuable resources of these groups? But why won’t the sheriff at least acknowledge these groups?” Coffindaffer posted on X. United Cajun Navy and EquuSearch, both volunteer-led search organizations, have reached out to the Pima County Sheriff’s office to assist in a broader-scale search. Cajun Navy offered up a 40-page plan that includes the use of specialized drones and dogs alongside their army of volunteers, which they believe can supercharge the search. Neither group has received a response from the sheriff. “We appreciate their concern, and we all want to find Nancy, but this work is best left to professionals,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement to KVOA. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has previously told reporters that investigators are closer to finding the perpetrator. “We’ve got a lot of intel,” he said, while stating that the investigation will largely remain off limits to the public. Today host Savanah Guthrie’s mother was last seen on January 31. Investigators have detained and questioned multiple persons of interest, but have not yet been able to identify a suspect.
